An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
Small Town Fun
Just got back from the Podunk shingdig. I LOVE small town living!
We left in plenty of time for the Mr to get set up. We pull in, park, and find out the band is setting up waaaaaay back in the park. Hmm…. So, I move the car, park near the pavillion, they’re getting all set up, sound checks and all. Then someone decided no one is waaaaaaay out there in BFE, so they packed everything up and moved it all to the main area by the firehouse/community center.
While they were doing that, I got nosy and snapped a few pictures. Hey. I’m not musician, and I wouldn’t know what to do, so why hang around, right?
Of course, you’ve got your cakes, for the cake walk (which I’m missed cuz we left 
), both homemade and store bought. Mine was store bought, of course. Dang! It was pretty. Almost didn’t make to the shindig. Heh. There’s a lot more that ya can’t see, but you get the idea. LOTS of yummy looking cakes…especially the ones in the box that ya can’t see.
Naturally, you’ve got to have some folks selling home made goodies, which the Mr and I raided on our way out…..elderberry jelly, some peanut brittle, a couple of other type of jellies. 
Hey, they’re trying to build a new church. Gotta help out, right? We helped the Girl Scouts and Boys Scouts while we were at it. Naturally.
There is the required car show. This is just a small portion. There were a couple of folks out there from the local car dealerships trying to sell big a ol’ honkin’ gas guzzlin’ truck, and an itty bitty, funny looking thing, which I can only assume, is great on gas mileage. I doubt anyone would buy it for it’s looks.
Theses were my favorites, a couple of Hudsons!
After drooling over the cars, especially the candy apple red one, which of course, I forgot to take a picture, I wandered on back on to where the folks were setting up. Wayne Jerrolds is the guy in the red shirt.
Test, 1,2,3! Heh
Eventually, the pickin’ and grinnin’ started.
Honestly, they were pretty good. They even played Jerusalem Ridge for me. I love that tune! The Mr got invited to go play with them this afternoon too over at the Wayne Jerrolds Riverside Park (yeah, he’s got a park named for him), so we’re going to do that too. Cool. The Mr is startin’ to meet folks to pick with!
After they finished, the Mr and I munched down on some pretty decent BBQ made by the Fire Dept. He wanted to take a gander at the cars, so we mosied on back and took a peak. I must have missed this earlier.
I wouldn’t swear to it, but I’m pretty sure that cassette/cd/radio wasn’t standard on whatever this old thing is….tin lizzy? Shoot, I don’t know…YES, it WAS before my time!
While we were snooping, there was quite a racket overhead. Down comes the Air VAC copter. No, the balloons were not on it, those were tied to the fence.
The Mr decided he wanted to come home for a while, just to see how ‘his’ Badgers were doing. Pfft! Should have stayed at the shindig. Heh.
Now, I’m gonna relax a bit before we head out again.
I really miss small town living.. I am living in a cockroach infested area, Full of Illegal’s and Gangbangers.*sigh*
we spend our summers in Blairsville, Ga, I can relate, my kind of day.
I think I know that banjo player…
@Robert:
I keep tellin’ ya….git outta there!
If Charley sat on the front porch on Halloween and played dueling banjos (deliverance music), would that scare people off or bring more in?
@silent E:
how dare you post on political byline…do you also favor lynching….how scummy are you to want to hang our next president.
@craig:
I beg your pardon? Who the hell are you, what the hell is political byline, and what the hell are you talking about?
And while you at it, learn grammar, learn to spell, and grow up!
Dang Craig, you forgot your meds I see.
Hanging our next President? Why would someone want to hang John McCain? Are you a racist Craig? do you assume that because Obama is black someone would want to hang him? I think that’s disgusting of you Craig. You should be ashamed and I am going to report you to the FBI.
@Robert:
I’m still trying to figure out what his rant had to do with the post.
What an odd bird.
